If you can have a copy of 100% fidelity for "free," there's no way that any distributor can compete with that price.
Methinks that when the RIAA "gets it," as the "information-wants-to-be-free" community keeps demanding, they'll stop lobbying Congress.
If the RIAA suddenly backs off, I would advise P2P users to deinstall the software soon as possible--because the RIAA will simply use extralegal means to get their way, and if you're stealing and fencing copyrighted material, you really can't go to the cops.

I didn't realize that my mp3's, some with crackles occasionally and a pop or two, are perfect copies.

I'm not worried. I certainly wouldn't download the latest and greatest from Kazaa or Morpheus. Just use proven popular cracked technology and you'll be cool.
There are lots of talented crackers out there who live to f*** with corporate types.
You can't fight natural systems - like capitalism or file swapping.
